New England Patriots free agent cornerback J.C. Jackson is one of the most talented players available this offseason. - The 26-year-old is set up for an enormous payday and it’s looking like he’s on his way out of Foxborough. It’s extremely unlikely the Patriots sign him to a long-term deal and the odds are also low on giving him the franchise tag. The Patriots would have to pay Jackson a projected $17.3 million for the year if he was to stay — and there’s only $8 million in cap space currently. - Teams with the money will be willing to dish out a large contract for an elite cornerback and Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mike Hilton is aware of this. Jackson said the Patriots weren’t showing him a ton of interest at the moment and Hilton tweeted with a potential landing place. - - @MR_INT I know a spot where you’ll be much appreciated
